Became the Emperor in the Hero Game

44 – Extraversion. The Demon King and the Hero.

Finally, we’ve come this far.

The hero, Shien, raised her sword and glared at the man standing in front of her.

Pale skin.

Creepy red eyes.

A person who waged war against the entire continent and was not defeated.

“Amazing. You were not in the plan.”

“The Demon King.”

“Garen went out to stop you, how did she break through? There’s no way he could have been beaten already.”

The 10 strongest corps commanders among the Demon King’s subordinates.

Among them, Garen is said to be the strongest.

Excluding the demon king, the strongest demon tribe, even rumored to be stronger than the demon king.

He went out to stop you, so why are you standing in front of me?

To the Demon King who asked that question, Shien replied.

“I am not alone.”

Kiriya’s representative, Saint Ella.

An archer protected by the spirits, the elven princess Seria.

The youngest Master, who would have become the youngest even if he had reached the level a few years earlier. Riel Fail.

Nia, the successor of the Beastman Alliance, a warrior who single-handedly broke through an army.

Viola, a sorceress rumored to be a disciple of the Magic Tower Lord.

Promising prospects from all over the continent are fighting a war and becoming a strong person with them.

“My allies will soon defeat Garen and join me.”

“Yes, maybe.”

Unexpectedly, the demon king obediently agreed with Shien’s words.

“What do you mean… !”

Even though the strongest subordinate was being attacked by his teammates, the Demon King looked so calm.

“The ulterior motive? There is no such thing.”

Is he confident that even if his subordinate falls down, he will be able to kill everyone else?

If he was a demon king, he was well-deserved, but his attitude was far from his confidence.

In the first place, it was the attitude that it really didn’t matter what happened.

“I wondered who would end this clowning. The world tree will not be able to move, so will Kiriya step forward? Or a dragon lord? Neither of them are actively intervening in the continent, so I thought maybe the remaining dragons might gather.”

“What are you talking about all of a sudden?”

“But I didn’t expect it to be human.”

Why the hell is the devil talking like that?

To say that it was simply to pass the time, the only thing that would gain an advantage if I was to pass the time was the confidence that my colleagues would join me.

As the demon king continued his words, the black fog surrounding him sparked.

Rather than protecting the demon lord, it seemed like they were protesting against him.

“Look. We’re almost at the end now. Isn’t this enough?”

The demon king rebuked the fog like a child.

Shien couldn’t help but be suspicious.

“The Demon King… ?”

“Oh, excuse me.”

After saying that, the Demon King raised his demonic spirit and entered into a battle posture.

“Then let’s begin.”

What was the story just before?

Shien’s mind was a little confused, but if the demon king was preparing for battle, he should have done the same.

The hero drew his sword towards the demon king.

———————————————————- —————————

The demonic covered the huge hall where the demon king greeted him.

It was to the point where it was impossible to breathe without raising the aura of the thick demonic air.

Every time Shien’s sword was swung, the wind pressure mixed with the bursting aura scattered the demonic energy, but it was quickly filled up.

Shien constantly moved her body to avoid the magic flying from her distance.

Without the process of drawing a magic circle or casting, the demon king waved his hand here and there and fired innumerable magics as if commanding.

So, Shien slashed the black spears falling from the sky, jumped up into the air with an aura, and avoided the floor that was trying to catch his feet.

Weeeaeaeae liquid!

As Shien swung his sword at the demon king with a full aura, the demon king and everything in between split in a straight line.

As the demon king swung his hand again, a nine-fold shield appeared in front of him, but it could not block Shien’s sword strike and split.

Breaking the ninth shield, the demon king tried to block the slightly weakened sword attack with his hand wrapped in demonic energy.

Kwaaang!

Aura and Magi collided with a roar, and the demon king was pushed back considerably by the shock reaction.

“Are you human?”

It’s not even a desperate blow, it’s just a blow with an aura that’s this powerful.

The Demon King spat out a sneer as if it were absurd, but Shien was also embarrassed.

Even the demon lord’s corps commander stopped being pushed back a little even after blocking his own sword attack.

‘Was it a rumor that Garen was stronger than the Demon King?’

Shien had already fought Garen several times.

Shien knew that if he wielded the sword now, he would have a hard time blocking even Garen.

As the Demon King flicked his hand, the demonic air that filled the space became a spear and shot at Shien.

Since there were too many of them to knock them out one by one, Shien believed in the artifacts in the form of armor and accessories he received from His Majesty the Emperor and rushed at the demon king, catching the spears flying from all directions except for the front.

No matter how much the demon king is, if he cuts himself with a sword, he won’t be safe.

As if the Demon King felt the same way, he continued to move around and fire magic at Shien.

In response, Shien spurred the ground and sometimes moved his body with the recoil of the sword wind as he approached the Demon King.

The battle of avoiding the Demon King and trying to approach Shien continued tediously.

The demon king’s magic, which focuses on moving his body around, was reduced in number and weak, so he couldn’t deliver a proper blow to Shien, and Shien couldn’t reach the demon king.

As the demon king continued to run away, the black mist that wrapped around the demon king was shot at Shien, but was soon eaten by the demon king’s demonic energy and disappeared.

“Tsk. You still have a lot of greed I have already kept my promise to you, so please do not intervene.”

“What are you talking about!”

“Never mind. Take this.”

As the demon king clapped his hands lightly, a huge magic circle was drawn behind him.

It wasn’t an attack that ignorantly hit demons like before, it was an elaborately organized magic circle.

I didn’t learn magic, but I had a colleague who was very good at magic, and as I waged war against demons who mainly used magic, Shien was able to interpret the magic circle to some extent, but I had never seen a magic circle drawn by the demon king. It was none.

Instead of the normal mana, a large magic circle using magic energy emitted light.

“Look upon your servant.”

As soon as the demon king finished his short chant, the magic was activated.

From noble mtl dot com

Shien felt his body grow heavy.

It’s not just a simple debuff.

I felt a different dignity from the demon king than before.

The futile attitude up until now was nowhere to be seen, and only a man worthy of the title of king was standing in front of him.

Fire, Lightning, Ice.

All kinds of elements became spears and aimed at Xien.

Sien’s body gradually got heavier, and the demon king, on the contrary, got stronger and stronger.

Shamanism, Sacred Arts, Sorcery.

Those were classified into three categories by modern standards, but the demon lord’s magic disregarded those standards and accomplished all of them at once.

“You don’t know, but the demon king and the priest of the demons are the same thing.”

The demon king spoke in a friendly tone, like a teacher teaching students.

Shien took one step closer to the demon king, cutting off the spears flying at him.

“The demon has foretold my end. So, I will die today. Although it breaks my heart that my death is not for you, if it is your will.”

In an instant, all the spears flying toward Shien disappeared.

I felt my body lighten and the demonic energy surrounding me significantly weakened.

Even without looking back, Shien knew that her allies had joined in defeating Ren.

Riel and Nia fired at the demon king, but when the demon king lightly waved his hand, they were thrown out.

“Hey Kiriyashi!”

Continuously, the saintess prayed to her god.

The benevolent god of light gladly answered the agent’s prayer, and the demonic energy surrounding her scepter gradually weakened, and Kiriya’s divine power filled it before she knew it.

“Oh, Kiriya. You are still dazzling It’s nice to see you again.”

Despite being surrounded by his divine power, the demon king didn’t look particularly distressed.

Rather, it was just a vague expression as if recalling old memories.

What the hell is a demon lord?

As Shien looked at her demon lord, she realized how little they knew about him.

Where did that being come from?

Why the hell was the war waged against the entire continent?

Even those who fought the most fiercely with the demon lord did not know that.

But two things.

If the Demon King dies, this war will end.

And he knew that he could kill that demon king.

Shien grew up quickly.

The day she first grabbed the sword, she was defeated against the goblins and ran away, but the next day she single-handedly annihilated a colony of goblins.

On the day I first met the demonic corps commander, I barely escaped with my life, but a month later I competed with the corps commander on an equal footing, and after another month passed, the corps commander ran away first.

It is the same today.

Compared to when he first stepped into the hall, he gradually got used to the magic and became stronger while casting out the demon king’s magic.

Even when he fought against the demon king surrounded by demons and possessing curses, he did not lose himself.

In this space filled with divine power to protect himself, Shien had no intention of losing to anyone.

It is not their job to find out who they are or where they come from.

There is only one task given to Xian.

‘Sh. Kill the devil Then the war will be over.’

Kill the Demon King and end the war.

Shien approached the Demon King.

The demon king, instead of avoiding his body as before, gathered his demonic energy into a sword shape and held it with one hand.

“I am Xian. A warrior.”

Shin, who had come close to the demon lord before he knew it, said so.

To this, the demon king replied.

“I am the Demon King. That’s all you need to know.”

Shien nodded in agreement.

Then, she swung a sword full of transparent auras.

At this, the demon king also swung his sword.

There was no conflict, and the Demon King died just like that.

————————————————————

“It’s over!”

Celia, the elf princess, shouted.

She put a lot of effort into clearing the road until she came to the devil’s residence, so she didn’t use much power in the final battle, but there was no group that could deny her credit.

“I will. It’s really over.”

Saint Ella also spoke with a relieved expression.

She was very tired because she had poured a tremendous amount of divine power that she had never handled in her life and she had never expected, but her heart felt more comfortable than ever.

Nia and Riel also nodded in agreement with happy expressions, and even Viola, the emotionless wizard, had the corners of her mouth raised.

But as much as Shien, her face was frozen as she was lost in her thoughts.

“Shien, what’s wrong with your expression? Have a little laugh.”

When Riel said that, Shien laughed awkwardly and said.

“Ah, I was a bit concerned about what the demon king said.”

“What the demon king said… ?”

“Uh. They said things that didn’t make any sense, such as clowning around or the end. Also, the demon king was said to be the chief priest of the demon tribe and talked about demons.”

“I drank… ? Was there such a god… ?”

She noticed that even Ella, who had studied theology deeply, had never heard of a demon.

“Well, let’s think about complicated things like that later.”

However, Seria said in a tone that she did not care what the demon king said.

“Let’s take a break for now! Because the devil is dead We deserve enough rest. Shien, wasn’t there something you said before?”

“Huh? Ah. Travel?”

“Yes! I will show you how beautiful the Great Forest is.”

“Shien, the Empire comes first. Know?”

“After visiting the Empire, it would be better to go to the Holy Kingdom. Because it is the closest.”

“In the Holy Land, our land is closer than the great forest.”

At Seria’s words, Riel interjected, and even Ella and Nia added her words.

Viola, who had been quietly watching the scene, also opened her mouth.

“… The end of the journey is the magic tower. Because I have something to tell you… “

“Okay! Then the plan is set! After stopping by the Empire for a while, Seongguk. Land of beasts. Great forest. And to the magic tower!”

So the warrior party took a break while talking about the trip.

After a while, news of the demon king’s death spread throughout the continent.
